AptonCD won't load

[sdurranc]

I've have Ubuntu 15.04 installed with all updates applied. The AptonCD team's version still works fine (after installing AptonCD in the repositories and Udisks. The regular AptonCD version in the repositories however won't load and gives the following error when the 'restore' then 'load' button is pressed.:
